{{italic title}}The Future Fire is a small press, online science fiction magazine ({{ISSN|1746-1839}}), run by a joint British-US team of editors. The magazine was launched in January 2005 and releases issues four times a year, with stories, articles, and reviews in both HTML and PDF formats. At times (notably 2006-7, 2010–11) issues appeared more sporadically than this.[1]

Contents

The Future fire publishes both fiction and nonfiction. For fiction it publishes Speculative Fiction, Cyberpunk and Dark Fantasy, with a focus on social and political themes and Mundane rather than hard SF.
